Lee told CBS journalist Scott Pelley that AI will disrupt repetitive jobs across the board, including chauffeur, truck driver or other driving jobs.

“Many jobs that seem a little bit complex, chef, waiter, a lot of things, will become automated … stores … restaurants, and altogether in 15 years, that’s going to displace about 40 percent of the jobs in the world,” Lee told Pelley.
